Answer:
Angel has a greater ratio of pencils to pens.
i.e. Angle's pencils to pens = 3 / 2 or 63/42
Thus, option (B) is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the table
Lydia's Number of Pencils = 10
Lydia's Number of Pens = 7
Lydia's Pencils to Pens ratio = 10/7
Angel's Number of Pencils = 9
Angel's Number of Pens = 6
Angels's Pencils to Pens ratio = 9/6 = 3 / 2
Elizabeth's Number of Pencils = 12
Elizabeth's Number of Pens = 9
Elizabeth's Pencils to Pens ratio = 12/9 = 4 / 3
So, We get the inputs ratios such as:
Lydia's ratio: Angels's ratio: Elizabeth's ratio
10/7 : 3 / 2 : 4 / 3
As the least common denominator (LCD) is: 42
Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:
10/7 : 3 / 2 : 4 / 3
60 / 42 : 63/42 : 56/42
Sorting from least to greatest:
Sorting this table by the numerators of the equivalent fractions in order from least to greatest:
Elizabeth's ratio : Lydia's ratio : Angels's ratio:
4/3 : 10 /7 : 3 / 2
56/42 : 60 / 42 : 63/42
Therefore, Angel has a greater ratio of pencils to pens.
i.e. Angle's pencils to pens = 3 / 2 or 63/42
Thus, option (B) is true.
